Experimental study of monazite/melt partitioning with implications for the REE, Th and U geochemistry of crustal rocks

Description

We report the results of monazite/melt partitioning experiments conducted in the piston-cylinder apparatus at 10-50kbar and 750-1200°C, using a synthetic granite mix with approximately 10wt.% H2O and doped with trace-elements in proportions corresponding
